Answer:

  • The Great Compromise (also known as the Connecticut Compromise)
  • The Three-Fifths Compromise

The two compromises affected the way a state's representation in Congress would be determined.

Explanation:

Both of these compromises were devised during the United States Constitutional Convention in 1787.  

The Great Compromise resolved a dispute between small population states and large population states.  The large population states wanted representation in Congress to be based on a state's population size.  The smaller states feared this would lead to unchecked dominance by the big states; they wanted all states to receive the same amount of representation.  The Great Compromise created a bicameral (two-chamber) legislature.  Representation in the House of Representatives would be based on population.  In the Senate, all states would have the same amount of representation, by two Senators.

The Three-Fifths Compromise was a way of accounting (somewhat) for the population of slaves in states that permitted slavery.  For taxation and representation purposes, the question was whether slaves should count in the population figures.  (They were not considered voting citizens at that time.)   The Three-Fifths Compromise said that three out of every five slaves could be counted when determining a state's population size for determining how many seats that state would receive in the House of Representatives.

Why do you think European immigrants left their homeland? Why do you think these immigrants chose to come to the United States?
mariarad [96]

Answer:

They left for money, land and god.

Explanation:

European immigrants left their home, their families, and their friends for a land that was vastly unknown and uncertain. Yet, they came for the sole purpose of more land, more money, and more freedom. They, like many other immigrants came for a chance at a better life. Many immigrants still come with the same mindset, they see the United States as a land of opportunity. The U.S. is full of jobs and good public education and that's why the U.S. seems to be such a hotspot for immigrants.

[Note: I don't know your grade level so I'm sorry if I made it seem too advanced or too "dumb" I hope this helps!]
